The ironic thing is, judging by the screenshots, your all much much better at the game then me! My trains get lost, my tracks get congested, my passengers leave, my industries stop producing... quite funny really.
I got one tip for you for helping that you're trains won't get lost.
Most people give a train an order to go like this : (example)
1 Stop at Station 1
2 full load of Iron Ore
3 Stop at Station 2
4 unload all Iron Ore.
end of orders.
When you got a mega track situation the best thing to do with the orders is to start giving you're orders like this :
1 route to waypoint 1 (just outside the loadstation)
2 Stop at Station 2
3 unload all Iron Ore
4 route to waypoint 2 (just outside the unloadstation)
5 Stop at Station 1
6 full load of Iron Ore
end of orders.
The best way how this works is when you make use of double track lay out. Please don't ask me why this system works bettter I just used this because I had the same problems with trains getting lost. Even when these tracks are the first one to be build I use this type of orders for trains because later on in the game you might wanna use a part of this track for an other route of an other train wich is connected via an other track. So the best thing to do is to give the new train orders and using the option "route through waypoint (nr)", if you make use of more trains on the same routes then make sure that the "route through waypoint" marks come after a crossing or change of direction.
If you still don't know what I'm talking about please say so because then I will give you a better explenation via a few screenshots.
Good luck !!!
